HOORAY! A full CFW has been achieved!
The wonderful "salt" known as @Shadowhand has made us an official post! (I am a link, click me)
Now you can receive all your information there.
However, remember.
THIS IS PRE-ALPHA SOFTWARE AND IS NOT MEANT TO BE INSTALLED AND USED IN DAILY LIFE YET!
I will not responsible if you brick while installing!
Here are some instructions for you, if you want.

How to Use

  • Install.
  • Download and install SaltFW v3.0 in ShadowNAND way (boot.bin in /homebrew/)
    • SaltFW is the companion CFW for ShadowNAND until ShadowNAND has more features.
  • Done.
  • SHADOWNAND IS NOT A CFW YET (EDIT: It is now)
  • IT IS A GLORIFIED A9LH INSTALLER
  • HAS A SAFETY NET THAT MAKES SURE YOU CAN STILL BOOT EVEN IF YOUR STAGE2 DOESN'T WORK.
  • NO BRICKS HAVE BEEN RECORDED

ShadowNAND by @Shadowhand has seemed to peak my interest, and I was wondering about the other lovely people of this forum. Will you be installing ShadowNAND? I have.

ShadowNAND info: As of the latest release, ShadowNAND is an A9LH v2 installer, screen_init on, and it has four main features
  1. Boots /arm9loaderhax.bin (obviously)
  2. Boots /safe_mode.bin
  3. Has a stage2 for booting a9lh and an altstage2 for backup
  4. Provides an error message when no sd card is inserted/arm9loaderhax.bin isn't present.

Does it have any patches or just boots the sysNAND without SD on A9LH?
As of now, it is a version of A9LH. It lets you boot up arm9loaderhax.bin, safe_mode.bin (if you do anything to corrupt stage2) and provides error messages when booting without sd card/without arm9loaderhax.bin.

EDIT: In later versions, it will install a version of SaltFW to your NAND, so you can boot without your sd card.

Nice! Is it based on A9LH 2?

Does it do patches on its own yet? Once it does, I am in.

I would recommend installing it, I think it's a better version of A9LH, with you being able to recover even after messing with stage2.

Fixes for v2 commits were made a day ago, and the link for the firms and ss is the same as the link on Plailect's guide for the v2 inputs. On top of that, the installer says to not use it for any other v2 payloads, implying this is v2. All of that added together, it definitely seems to be A9LHv2. I would assume that is where RShadowhand is getting the space to store the redirects and his/her (sorry I don't know) SaltFW.
